Dos Santos has been accused of heading an extremely corrupt regime since taking over in 1979. Many people in his country live off of less than $2 per day, and he has been widely criticized for his treatment of those opposing him, as well as his treatment of human rights.

Nicki Minaj's most outrageous looks

In the days leading up Minaj's concert, the Kennedy Humans Rights group expressed tremendous displeasure with the rapper performing at a show on Dos Santos' behalf.

"(Minaj is) callously taking money from a dictator who's been in power for nearly four decades and who has effectively and ruthlessly choked free expression," the group's Africa Policy Director, Jeffrey Smith told the Daily News' Confidenti@l page.

"This sustained crackdown on basic human rights in Angola has swept up activists, opposition members, journalists and even musicians."

Minaj, however, never wavered, as she posted several messages on social media to promote the controversial show.

On Saturday, Minaj shared a snapshot of herself stepping off of her plane as she arrived in the African country.

The "Super Bass" singer then thanked her audience after the show, sharing a photo of herself with Angola's flag draped over her back.

Saturday's show isn't the only reason Minaj has been in the news lately. The rapper announced on Instagram on Friday that 11-year-old actress Ariana Neal will play her in the upcoming ABC sitcom about her life and career, "Nicki."

"I literally cried watching her taped audition," Minaj captioned a photo of the young actress. "She's tough! And so sweet & cute."
